WARNING
Avoid activation in strong updrafts. In these situations, it is best to first
get away from the updraft, and then to activate the rescue system.
WARNING
Minimum effective altitude for the use of AEPS is
1000ft (300 m) above ground. By activating at height under 1000 ft the
swinging oscillation of the aircraft may not stabilize and the crew may be
injured by impact with terrain. Additionally, the parachute canopy may not
be fully loaded so as to properly reduce the speed of fall.
If time is not critical:
1. Report your emergency and intention to use the AEPS.
2. Advise your passenger to follow your orders and actions.
3. Tighten seat belts.
4. Activate ELT
5. Check area beneath to avoid power lines and similar risks.
6. Switch off fuel supply
7. Cut power, reduce speed as much as possible.
8. Switch off main switch
9. Pull the activation handle strongly.
10. Protect your face with your hands, put your hands and feet together
(i.e. „roll into a ball“, firm up your whole body!
11. Firm up your body before landing and impact!
12. After landing promptly leave the aircraft, if possible, in opposite
direction of the wind.
In a time critical situation:
− activate the AEPS immediately, regardless of the flight altitude,
attitude and terrain over which you are
− Follow all other steps of procedure above.
